Calendar:
Please check the calendar tab prior to inquiring about the availability of our studio.
We try to keep it updated
Last but not least:
Since the studio is located in our basement, there are 2 heating pipes running through the studio and clearance is a little lower.

The studio apartment was quite adequate. Peter & Sylvia were accommodating. The location was quite convenient for our needs. Two suggestions: a thermostat in this studio apartment since once the heat was on upstairs. . . it was unbearable downstairs with the exposed pipes giving a tremendous amount of heat and the bathroom needs another towel rack or hooks on door to hang towels.

EllenNovember 2015

AWESOME. That was our first time that we used airbnb and is was perfect. We stayed 9 days with Peter abs Sylvia together. The studio was amazing . We had everything what we need. Peter and Sylvia were great hosts and always helpful . Sylvia dropped us off at the airport :) Thx for this perfect experience and if we come back to New York, we always want to stay with the Parker Family :) Danke euch beiden für diese tolle Zeit. Wir waren sehr gerne bei euch und haben uns zu 1000 % immer wohl gefühlt. Wenn wir uns nicht mehr dieses Jahr sehen ,dann nächstes Jahr in Berlin liebe Sylvia.

AnnaSeptember 2014

Sylvia and her family have been warm, kind, and accommodating hosts! It has been a really great experience so far. I actually decided to stay longer than initially planned. Stay here if you want to feel at home!

TraceyDecember 2013

Very friendly and very helpful. Sylvia was so kind to drop us off at the train station on one of our days there. Overall very hospitable.

IrmoMay 2014

Another great stay with Peter and Sylvia. The lodging setup is perfect.

Mike October 2014

Always a great experience staying here. Peter, Sylvia and the family are great hosts! Expect a warm welcome, very clean and cozy accommodations.

Mike September 2016

We needed a place to rest our heads after long days of helping my daughter move and shop for her new apartment near Seton Hall. Peter and Sylvia's place was perfect! It was new, clean and quiet! The backyard looked nice and inviting too but it was cold and rainy so we didn't get to enjoy it. It was no more than a 10 minute drive to Seton Hall.

DinaMay 2016

Everything is perfect at this place. We were there on a business trip and had quite enjoyable stay. Peter and Sylvia are excellent hosts. Highly recommend this place.

Private room w/bath in 1931 American Bungalow full of light, art and books. Quiet, safe neighborhood w/off street parking a stones throw from NYC (50 min. via Decamp Bus; 15 min Uber ride to Newark Penn Station or Newark International Airport). Convenient to great restaurants, parks and shops. Would love to see you!

Private room with bath in our 1931 American Bungalow full of light, art and books. Quiet, safe neighborhood w/off street parking a stones throw from NYC (50 min. via Decamp Bus). Convenient to great restaurants, parks and shops. Our house is on one floor, with an additional bedroom and full bath which my husband and I occupy. Cozy and lived in by two artists/arts professionals, one of whom works primarily from home. New, European-style shower, sink and commode for your private use.
Feel welcome throughout the living quarters of the house and the garden. Let me know if access to the kitchen is needed.

Let me know if you will be driving or relying on public transportation.

I was 110% satisfied with my recent stay at here. The room was comfortable, clean and well ventilated. It had a flat screen TV with cable, a strong internet connection, a desk area to work at, and a comfortable bed. The private bathroom was a big plus for me as well as the availability of kitchen facilities. The ambience of this space is one of literature and art making for a very tasteful aesthetic. The upscale suburban neighborhood is quiet and safe; the lush and verdant landscaping sweetening the air. Hosts Cicely and Victor are warm, considerate and extremely helpful with anything one might need such as options for local transportation or local points of interest. I would definitely stay there again when working in the area.

RileyOctober 2016

Cicely's place was perfect. Everything was very welcoming. The room and bath were clean and had everything I needed to feel at home.

GailNovember 2016

I had a lovely stay in West Orange. Cicely was very friendly and i felt at home there.

SørenOctober 2016

Cicely and Victor's home and their gift of hospitality were exemplary! The profile and photos were spot-on, not to mention their beautiful gardens were a pleasant surprise. The clean, quaint and safe neighborhood added to my whole experience. The purpose of my trip was a four day conference, that filled most of my time, so there was a limited amount of personal exchange between us- but notes were left, air conditioning was prepped in my room and their paintings displayed throughout the house were a sight to see. Being an actor, I felt I bonded with this artsy, peace-filled home. Their spirits were inviting to start and I was wished well on my journey home- not much more I could of asked for. Try this delightful oasis- I personally felt touched by the whole experience!

You have access to the kitchen, deck, washer and dryer room in the basement, living room.

There is a bus stop about 4 blocks away and De Camps charter buses run daily to NYC.

Listing was accurate and space was clean. Room had a door for privacy however with quite a few other people staying or living there is was not ideal for getting a good nights sleep. The thin construction of the bedroom door and wide space at the bottom of the door allowed for every sound and footstep to be heard. With guests in and out at various hours (2am, 4am, etc) it was not a restful night.

AmyOctober 2016

Was absolutely perfect for what i needed. Daniels family was great! Good gym and grocery near by.

NickAugust 2016

The host canceled this reservation 4 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Cliff

The place was quiet, very clean, and the hosts were friendly. They even had some fruit in the kitchen for me. I look forward to staying here again on my next trip to NJ.

RobertApril 2016

The house is located in a quite place but conveniently located to K-MART/CVS/Wholefoods. My Room - It was clean, cozy, a fridge and drawer stand for storage along with closet ( hangers ). Very comfortable stay. The Kitchen area was also clean and well organized. Experience - Amazing hosts. Actually when I stayed, Daniel was not around but the caretakers took good care even provided breakfast. A very homely feeling. I would definitely stay again if i am around this area.

basavarajOctober 2016

Daniel's family has been nothing but fantastic. You're close to everything and the room was just wonderful. I would return again

EvaOctober 2016

Easy check-in, easy experience. Look forward to staying here on my next trip to New Jersey.

RobertApril 2016

This is a great place in a very safe neighborhood just outsode of Newark, NJ. There is a Whole Foods around the corner. You can get everywhere with a car in no time (if you feel time like a New Yorker) otherwise it may feel way too fast for you :). Hosts were super accomodating. I flew in from Denver, CO and my flight was delayed. Picking up the rental car all in all, I arrived at 1:30 AM and they opened the door. I was very apologetic but they were just fine and super friendly showing me to my room. Since I see my son every other weekend, I will certainly be back! Thank you! Carsten

The neighborhood is terrific. It has a warm, family feel to it. It is very quaint and beautiful. Lots of pretty trees. Bernard is a very kind, caring, and wonderful person. The best host ever. He is incredibly considerate and makes sure all you needs are met. If you have the time while on vacation, he is an awesome person to converse with over a morning cup of coffee or a dessert at night. Bernard makes you feel comfortable, like you're at home. He made it an absolutely wonderful experience. Stay with Bernard a have great vacation.

ThomasJuly 2016

It was SO good to be back in Bernard's beautiful home on our return visit to West Orange. As always, he welcomed us with open arms and was there to meet our every need. The restful peace and quiet his property provides is a rare and special thing.

robFebruary 2016

Wow, I can't say enough about the fabulous house or about Bernard. I am a frequent business traveler and I spend more that 70% of my nights staying in a mega hotel chain. When I changed jobs and moved to NYC area, I wanted a more personal and welcoming place. THIS IS IT! I feel completely at home in this house and I have enjoyed getting to know Bernard. It has taken away much of the stress associated with starting a new job. You can't find a better place to say! If you are debating booking, just do it! Staying here will be a highlight of your trip.

AnthonyApril 2016

Bernard’s home is everything described and more. Not only was the room comfortable and gorgeous, the entire house is lovely throughout. Bernard is a gracious and welcoming host. His attention to detail is evident everywhere, from the quality of the bed, the decor of the rooms, to the beautiful property surrounding the house itself. It’s amazing that such a quiet, private getaway is only minutes from the hustle and bustle of New York City! We could not recommend it more highly. We will be back.

robFebruary 2016

This is our second stay with Bernard. Our first stay was in Room 1 ...this was in Room 3. Both rooms are fabulous. Room 3 is a converted sleeping porch with lots of windows. The colors and furnishings have a relaxing effect. Bed and linens are luxurious. Television in room. We love -breakfast whenever you need it -full use of house -beautiful cats -full use of kitchen and access to whatever is in refrigerator (except anything belonging to another guest) -fresh baked healthy cookies. We will be back in a month or so. Cannot recommend this listing enough.

LoisMarch 2016

Bernard is an awesome host. I have stayed with him seven times during my relocation to New Jersey over four months. I always feel welcome and comfortable and I love his warm house environment and the evening chats in his kitchen. I am very health conscious, and Bernard has gone above and beyond by making sure there is always a variety of low fat, high protein non-HFCS foods are available. He even makes healthy desert to snack on while we have the evening chats in the kitchen. Additionally, Bernard is always willing to help his guests and has the best recommendation for local restaurants and sights. If you are looking for an awesome AirBNB experience in NYC area, stay with Bernard. You will find yourself going back time and time again.

AnthonyJune 2016

Once again we booked one of Bernard's fantastic rooms for a family friend who was visiting. And once again, everything was perfect. Thank you Bernard!

robAugust 2016

Bernard was the perfect host, initial response was immediate and communication was consistent from booking until arrival. His home is just charming and delightful, warm and inviting and so is he! Everything about our stay there was perfect, from our light filled, immaculate and chic comfortable room, to the gorgeous yard and wrap around porch, quiet and relaxing-the perfect location to rewind after the days events. The house and grounds are very spacious, yet it felt cozy and intimate, beautifully lovingly decorated. Close to NYC, quick and easy access to GSParkway and 280 if driving and perfect location to take the trains to NYC as well. We were so grateful to have met Bernard and spend time in his home. We didn't want to leave and we enjoyed the healthy treats he made on our drive home and they made our hearts smile : ). Can't wait to return!

Bethie was a wonderful host. She has a lovely home. Spacious and comfortable. The house was clean and close to our job site. She was very helpful with anything we needed and was able to accommodate me and my co worker on short notice. I would highly recommend her home again. Thank you Bethie.

Joseph June 2016

Spent a week at Bethie's in August 2014. We had the entire home to ourselves. Bethie's home is truly lovely and is exactly as described. Bethie was a true host always checking up on us to ensure we were okay. Will definitely come back again!!

MaureenSeptember 2014

WOW! The listing was exactly as listed. Bethie is a sweetheart and she was there to help my friend Sarah and I when we needed her. Her place is perfectly located, clean and safe. Easy access to the city. I had an awesome time at her place and I will definately rent her place every time I go to New York. Whoever goes to New York City needs to stop by Bethie's.

Takou V.June 2014

I stayed here for a whole month for a medical school rotation and absolutely loved it. Bethie was a great host and really went out of her way to make sure that I was comfortable. The house is exactly as described. It was very tidy and I always slept great at night. The neighborhood was very safe and quiet. There were plenty of restaurants in the area. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks Bethie!

JakeSeptember 2016

The house was exactly as described and met our needs well. The location worked out well for us. My 6-year-old would have loved it if Bethie had some toys around but other than that, it was great.

LindaJanuary 2015

A nice house in a quiet suburb. Internet and TV was down most of the time.

DavidMay 2014

Bethie's house is exactly as advertised, at the end of a pleasant street in a quiet neighborhood. My stay was very pleasant, the one problem I had was with the internet that Bethie fixed up immediately. Great stay!

I noticed at first that only men had stayed at Adam's place, so I was a bit apprehensive -- was there a reason? Still, circumstances prevailed, and I needed to have somewhere to stay. I contacted him and he was very prompt in sealing the deal. (Thank goodness!!) The conversations were great, the place just lovely, and I felt welcome and safe. Apprehension out the door. I would stay again, certainly!

NatalieMay 2015

Adam's house was just as he described -- quiet and comfortable and he couldn't have been more accommodating - even gave me a ride to work one day. Only 5 miles from Montclair and everything you need is very close by. Nice to have coffee and snacks, too! Would definitely stay here again and recommend it! Thanks, Adam!

SusanJuly 2016

Host was totally accomodating, and sent me all the information I needed to know well before my arrival. The neighborhood and house was very pleasant, and the room, kitchen, and bathroom were exactly what I needed. Most significantly: I was extremely late in my arrival, due to flight delays. Adam waited till very, very late in the night to let me in and show me around. If you need a place in West Orange, I recommend Adam's.

AleksJune 2014

I was unable to take advantage of his offer - even after I had paid - and he refunded me in full. He certainly did not have to do this, which is a true testament to his character. Thanks, Adam!

HarrisonOctober 2015

Adam was a very gracious and out going host, he made me feel welcomed the first minute i walked in the door.His location was very convenient to my new job. He even made me dinner one night, he made me feel fight at home

I want to thank Bernard for his hospitality during my stay at his house. Bernard is a great host, very friendly, warm and helpful! His beautiful house, an old Lady aged more than 150 years old, is located in a quiet neighbourhood of West Orange. It's only 40 minutes to be in the City by car. The main train station is a 20 min walk from the house that goes directly to NYC Penn Station, (about a 30 min. commute) but there is also a closer one that is a bout a 6 min. walk but there is a transfer in Newark Penn Station and about a 42 min. commute. There is also a town jitney that you can take that stops right in front of Bernard's home and will shuttle you to either train station. If you are looking for something peaceful and relaxing and still being close to Manhattan, this is the place to be. The bedroom is spacious, clean, quiet, and has a private bathroom.(en-suite) It was very nice and cosy to be in. I had some very good conversations with Bernard, and enjoyed living in "A Place to Call Home". I stayed there for one week, and changed my plan to add one more week. The only thing we didn't have time to do is to play Bocce Ball in the backyard, hopefully next time :) J'ai passé deux semaines vraiment très agréables au 62 walker rd à West Orange. Bernard est un hôte très sympatique, toujours attentif et de bonne humeur. Sa maison est une grande propriété, l'une des premières maisons construites au début du XIX siècle aux portes de New-York. Le coin est plutôt chic, on est au calme parmis les écureuils et les cerfs, tout cela à 30 minutes de Manhattan par le train. Bernard a aménagé un jardin où il fait bon prendre son petit déjeuner, se détendre ou lire. La chambre que j'ai occupée est spacieuse, avec une salle de bain privative. J'y ai prolongé mon séjour d'une semaine. Pour ceux qui recherchent un peu de tranquillité tout en étant à deux pas de la vie trépidante new-yorkaise, c'est un lieu idéal !

OlivierSeptember 2015

Being far away from home, I felt like I was almost at home. The atmosphere of this classic, beautiful house was very inviting and warm.The backyard is gorgeous and there is even a bocce ball court on the left hand side, which is pretty neat. The host, Bernard, was extremely kind and helpful. Any questions I had, he would answer them right away. Also, the house is in a quiet, and nice area. I felt very safe and assured. I will definitely book here again, if there is availability. Thank you Bernard!

JenniferNovember 2016

I had a very nice experience at Maria's Garden B&B over the weekend. Host Bernard made me feel welcome even before I arrived, texting to be sure I had no special needs and that I knew where I was going. His home is spacious, clean and emanates a warm, safe personality complete with music, angels and Turkish coffee! Yes, I'll be back! Surely you will enjoy your say as much as I did. Molte Grazie Bernard, Susan

SusanOctober 2016

Bernard was great! We hooked up via SMS before I arrived, and he made sure he would be home to meet and greet when I arrived. He showed me around the house and made me feel like family as soon as I arrived. Great experience, and highly-recommended if you are looking for an affordable place in a great location in North Jersey.

AaronAugust 2016

We have stayed at Maria's Garden a few times. Every time has been a great experience. It really does feel like home. When we arrived there were two deer in the backyard. It just adds to the beautiful outdoor spaces. Breakfast is perfect for us ...coffee, cereal, fruit and bagels. Bernard's home is our first choice when we travel. Unfortunately there are times when he is booked.

LoisOctober 2016

Bernard and his beautiful, classic old home were great. His place has lots of character, and Bernard could not have been more gracious. A good neighborhood with lots of quiet. I'll be back.

BJAugust 2016

There is only one way to describe Bernard's place: it is awesome. The house is nice and clean all the time. The backyard is just gorgeous. I regularly see a family deers out in the backyard and it's such a treat. Bernard is a gracious host and was very willing to take time out of his day to explain everything. He is very easy to get along with and as are his cats. The house is a fifteen minute walk to the nearest train station (Mountain Station). You can get to Manhattan in about 45 min. I liked the place so much that I have extended my stay many times.

VishuNovember 2015

As always, staying at Bernard's place was wonderful. As you can see from the many positive reviews, Bernard does things the right way -- because he really cares.

Convenient to great restaurants, parks and shops. Would love to see you!. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, and families (with kids).

Cicely is very welcoming! Very nice little detached apartment. Profile and pictures are accurate.

Cicely's place was wonderful. We would totally recommend it. Very pleasant and safe and quiet neighborhood, yet close to the highways and close to wear I was working in East Hanover. The room was spotless and very comfortable, good wifi so I could work in the evenings, nice small snacks in the fridge, coffee and a french press (!) so we could have my morning coffee every day! It was really quite lovely - we would have enjoyed hanging out there more if we had not planned some long days. Perhaps next time. Plus, Cicely was very good at communicating via email and text. We knew exactly what to expect and when we realized that our arrival on the first night would be later than originally expected, she made it very easy for us to get in and get settled. Thanks!

This was our first experience using AirBNB, and Cicely was a wonderful host. The house was a perfect fit for my family (2 adults, 2 kids). It was an easy commute to catch a train into NYC, and Cicely was able to talk some rookies right through the process. The neighborhood and surrounding resturants and shopping were close by when we were at the house. Thanks for the enjoyable stay.

MikeOctober 2016

Cicely is an excellent host. She made us feel very welcomed in her house. The apartment is lovely, spacious and very close to a major highway that can take you anywhere.

MonikaNovember 2016

Fantastic experience!! I loved my stay and wished I could have stayed longer. The apartment (more of a little house) is beautiful and looks better in person. It had everything I needed...full kitchen, washer/dryer, my own driveway, fast wifi. The place is very welcoming and immaculately decorated. Cicely & Victor would most welcoming host and genuinely nice people. They went out of there way to make sure I was enjoying my stay and had everything I needed. Highly recommended!!

Sheila is a wonderful host with the gift of hospitality. We spent two weeks with her and she was warm, friendly and kind. We had our own private washroom and she provided us with linens and towels. She also allowed us to use her washer and dryer. I was there one of the weeks by myself without a car and Sheila graciously drove me to the mall, the park and even took me to a show! She was always looking for ways to be helpful. Staying with Sheila fit our needs perfectly. She is a peach!

GregOctober 2015

Comfortable and quiet respite. Sheila was very accommodating with check-in and check-out. She is a sweet lady and attentive to a guests needs.

PhilipMay 2016

Sheila was a great host! She made us feel very welcome and at home while staying there! She gave us great advice of places to go, and places to see. Our time there was definitely more enjoyable because of her. Definitely would book with Sheila again!

KylieMay 2016

Shelia was a wonderful host for our weekend in West Orange. Her home is well-located and inviting. She answered all of our questions about the area (we're thinking of relocating from Brooklyn), provided tips on places to eat and visit around town, and even brought out a few of her great-grandkids' toys for our daughter to play with.

JoelJuly 2016

The stay was wonderful! Good location, safe, comfortable bed. Host is friendly and informative.

SonaAugust 2016

Sheila was a wonderful host! She truly made me feel welcome in her home by chatting with me, always asking if I needed anything and eating dinner with me. Sheila's room and bathroom were great! The room was clean and cozy as was the bathroom. Sheila's home was truly my "home away from home." I highly recommend staying at Sheila's home if you are rotating at St. Barnabas hospital (as was my case), in the neighborhood, or looking to spend time in NYC. Thanks, Sheila!

RachelNovember 2015

Sheila is a great host! I stayed there with my friend. for a week. She welcomed us warmly. She gave us some information and tips about trips, which really helped a lot. Also she took us to restaurant and some attractions nearby. She often gave us ride to train station in the morning as well. And the train for Penn Station, NewYork takes only 30mins. Her house is clean and safe. I enjoyed staying here and she is so kind!! :)

Bernard is a Very warm and gracious person. The house and grounds are beautiful and kept well. Was a pleasure staying there. Would definitely stay again!

johnnyOctober 2016

Bernard was really welcoming and accommodating. The place was beautiful, and the room was comfortable. It's a short train ride to New York, and a short walk to the station. I absolutely recommend staying here if you're traveling in the area. Thanks again Bernard!

MasonOctober 2016

It's always a pleasure to return to Bernard's place.. friendly/accommodating and clean. !! and he made the most delicious peanut butter bars for the patrons,.. yummmmm !!hope I get them again when I return !( wink wink)

DorineNovember 2016

Staying at "A Place to Call Home" was a dream. Apart from being a beautiful home and a very comfortable place to stay, Bernard was also unbelievably welcoming and hospitable. I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay! The house is also very close to the Mountain Station train station, which takes you directly into NYC. It's about a 15-minute walk. Nearby there is also a very lovely park, a couple of movie theaters, a grocery store, and a small shopping strip with a CVS.

LessieNovember 2015

Terrific space with loads of light and openness. Overlooking golf course, 2 bedrooms and 1.5 baths. It's the perfect place to get away from it all.
Barn converted into residence. Comfy, quiet and serene.
First level has living room, dining room

A unique gem. Tucked into the back of our property is a barn converted into a private residence.
When able, we share our pool with guests.
We're just a couple steps away if you need anything.

The stay was very smooth and as advertised. The home is very convenient to the major roads and exchanges in the area, and worked out very well. It's a great resource for extended stays in an area with few hotel options, too.

BrentOctober 2016

Micaela was such a lifesaver when our options in the greater north NJ area were zero! She was quick to communicate about short notice availability for her pool house, and it ended up being a great fit for a night of business travel. She gave us a very warm and hospitable welcome, clearly explained both the amenities we were welcome to and the few requests she makes of her guests. Wish we could have spent more time socializing - next time!

GrahamOctober 2016

Micaela was super considerate and accommodating, and we really appreciated how communicative she was before and during our stay. The space was just like the pictures, and we had an awesome time! Thanks so much, Micaela!

StephanieOctober 2016

We had a great time staying there, the barn was just renovated and the grounds are beautiful. Great pool and very pretty setting. Would def stay here again.

David September 2016

The location was great-very serene setting in the back of the property. We enjoyed the proximity of the zoo and had a great meal at McLoone's. The space was nice, although the loft setup certainly limits privacy with no doors between any of the sleeping spaces. Everything is open and quite bright, which may present a challenge for young families around bedtime. Otherwise, a very comfortable stay! Micaela was great to work with, easy communication and very accommodating.

MargaretOctober 2016

Incredible value and a great place to stay in a market that is limited for places that can accommodate a larger group. Another location had their fire alarms going off all night, so I rebooked to stay in the area for a wedding. Micaela responded to a late night inquiry very early in the morning and did everything she could to get us in as soon as possible. The neighborhood is quiet and gorgeous. There will absolutely be deer outside the kitchen window. There is a Whole Foods and drug store just up the street, with fairly easy access to highways to get other parts of the area. Plenty of parking and privacy. The layout of the house is very open, but in a unique and interesting way that comfortably fit our group of five. Very, very comfortable sleeping. Stove, electric range, and plenty of dishes, silverware, and glasses for the cooking we did. Absolutely loved the place, would recommend or use again for sure.

DerekOctober 2016

Great place in West Orange that was SO quiet! Deer and foxes running throughout yard...Perfect. We were in NJ visiting friends in Maplewood and South Orange (only 10 mins away) and we trained into the city twice...perfect location for both. In addition, Micaela and Sahib were wonderful hosts!

Thank you Ellen for looking after me on the first days of my venture into the states. You were so hospitable, your house welcoming and my room was incredibly comfortable. Highly recommend Ellen and Mike as wonderful hosts.

KateOctober 2016

Ellen's house was very easy to find with plenty of parking. The bedroom room, separate bathroom and living areas are very clean and smoke free. The bedroom included a tv and the bed was super comfortable. Ellen was very kind and helpful with any questions or directions I had. There are two Whole Foods nearby and I happened upon the Montclair Farmers Market on the Saturday morning I was there. The Manor (wedding venue and country club) is just around the corner. Lots of shopping and restaurants a short car drive away. I highly recommend staying here!
